Upside-down the 100ft long LCU East (Landing Craft Utility as in beach landings) lies in 95'/29m of water on a sandy bottom with spotty reefs surrounding it. Not the most exciting wreck but it offers the easiest swim-through of them all underneath the wreck. There is also a tighter swim-through through the pilot house, no penetrations however.
Five whitetip reef sharks have been spotted resting underneath the bow section on several occasions, maybe it's a family! South of the bow there are several pipes and in the larger of them is a good spot to observe the whip-coral goby on its host. The wreck also has some of the now rare black corals that is used to make jewelry, at least the last time I looked!
